Hopkins is a seven-part medical documentary TV series developed by ABC as a real-life partner to ABC's Grey's Anatomy and as a follow-up to documentary special Hopkins 24/7 that follows the reality of a high-pressure, fast-paced world of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Drama does not need a room full of writers to create it as an originally illegal immigrant gained his citizenship in order to become one of America's most prominent Brain Surgeons, marriage can seem shaky when the husband is an on-call Cardiothoracic Surgeon, and the surprising shocks the Emergency Room can give to a seasoned doctor. Not only are their personal lives on the murky side, they have to make decisions in order to keep their patients safe, including trying find a heart transplant for a young toddler, a three-way kidney transplant, and a heart condition with no known source. From personal dramas to ones of the medical kinds, Hopkins reveals just how devastating, emotional, and enlightening working to save people's lives can be.MORE
